Final answer:

The painting 'Angel with Arquebus, Asiel Timor Dei' by the Master of Calamarca, La Paz School, is not described in the question as provided; it seems there is confusion with another work. A correct description of 'Angel with Arquebus' would reference a 17th-century painting depicting an angel carrying a firearm, a characteristic of art blending European and indigenous elements.

Step-by-step explanation:

The painting Angel with Arquebus, Asiel Timor Dei is attributed to the Master of Calamarca and is a part of the body of work produced by the La Paz School during the 17th century C.E. This painting does not actually overshadow the central gallery of the Doge's Palace in Venice nor depicts a scene of religious heaven with Mary as Queen of Heaven, Jesus, or archangels such as Michael and Gabriel. It seems there may be some confusion with the description provided. The La Paz School is known for a unique blend of European and indigenous artistic elements, producing imagery like the Angel with Arquebus, which represents an angelic figure holding a firearm. This distinct blend of religious iconography and local influence is a hallmark of the Cusco School of art, to which the La Paz School is related. It would be necessary to research the specific image referred to as 'Angel with Arquebus, Asiel Timor Dei' to provide an accurate description of its subject matter.
